Masks of World – Book

Ku Klux Klan mask/hood

Wikapedia says… “The Ku Klux Klan, commonly called the KKK or the Klan, is an American white supremacist hate group. The Klan has existed in three distinct eras at different points in time during the history of the United States. Each has advocated extremist reactionary positions such as white supremacy, white nationalism, anti-immigration and—especially in later iterations— Nordicism and anti-Catholicism. Historically, the KKK used terrorism, physical assault and murder—against groups or individuals whom they opposed. All three movements have called for the purification of American society and all are considered right-wing extremist organizations. In each era, membership was secret and estimates of the total were highly exaggerated by both friends and enemies.”

MasksoftheWorld.com is about all kinds of masks from all over the world. So I felt it was time to disregard my shame as an American and post one of these infamous masks, which unfortunately are still in use. Instead of a white sheet, this modern one is made of pale gray seersucker.
